NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory released a photo showing a massive coronal hole forming in the sun’s atmosphere, ejecting a stream of fast-moving solar winds toward Earth.
“The current coronal hole, the big one right now, is about 300,000 to 400,000 kilometers across,” Alex Young, the associate director for science at NASA Goddard’s Heliophysics Science Division, told Bussiness Insider. He said, “that’s about 20-30 Earths lined up back-to-back.”
Young said coronal holes unleash solar winds that can travel between 500-800 km per second. He explained the coronal mass ejection would reach Earth by Friday.
“We will probably start seeing the effects of the high-speed wind on March 24.
“When the high-speed wind reaches Earth, the particles and the magnetic field it carries will interact with Earth’s magnetic field, effectively rattling it or like ringing a bell,” he said.
Space Weather website SolarHam said when the solar winds hit Earth, it will produce a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm.
Here’s a visual of the CME’s impacts on modern society.
In addition to this week’s geomagnetic storm risk, Sunspot Cycle 25 has already started and is anticipated to be active. This could spell trouble for the digital economy, as disruptions caused by solar flares may lead to economic harm.
Last year, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink lost 40 satellites after a geomagnetic storm knocked them out of orbit.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

There is no sun, like the moon, it’s just hologram. 😁
I for one, am grateful our benevolent overseers create this time of year.
As am I. But even the hologram has a glitch once in while. That’s why I’m looking out my window at 6 feet of snow right now.
There is no sun, like the moon, it’s just hologram. 😁
Hilarious!
He’s right you know!
I used to be on the maintenance crew responsible for replacing the giant lightbulb they carry across the sky each day suspended from an invisible airship.
Oh?
And there is no “other side of earth” which proves that war with China and Russia is impossible because they are located at a place on earth that doesn’t exist.

Maybe, the “sun” is an “arcing” location bridging the two interstellar birkeland currents that feed energy into our Z-pinch located solar system that continuously converts energy into matter.

Either that or its literally a giant candle for melting the wax wings off of disobedient spirit children like Icky. (Icarus)
Historic Protip: Few people know the origination of the word icky comes from the mess Icarius made after his famous sun misadventure.
Ex. “Ooh, that’s Icarus?”
Became “Ooh, that’s icky”
I’m going with the giant lightbulb
If light is a constant, then time must vary as mass changes.
Thinking too much will take more time.
Thinking less is faster…
Mass ejectionhitting earth right now.

And of course where I live it’s nothing but clouds, rain, mixed with snow……..no aurora for me.
Thankfully the Sun has no effect on the climate.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us we live in an unsustainable environment anyways…
If the earth is a globe orbiting the sun, the sun will eventually go red giant and consume the planet; so, yes, unsustainable.
If the earth is flat and the sky a firmament, God is going to unleash wrath followed by a new earth and new heavens; so, yes, also unsustainable.
This is exactly why a digital economy is unreliable.
Umm depends on whos point of view. If you are a banker you could use the excuse of a CME wiping out all your wealth and everyone, but them, starts over again. To make it fair the banks will generously start you out again with $1000 of CBDC. A safe, reliable and effective means easily applied whenever deemed necessary.
Now, about that criticism of the bankers you made the other day, I’m sorry to tell you that you will get $700 instead of the $1000. Now run along, and be happy
All the servers with depositor account records?
Unshielded from CME events and vulnerable to power surges/outages,
and coffee spills.
_____
All the servers for the accounts due?
Multiple backups in hardened underground server farms, engineered to survive direct hits by nukes.
Too bad we can’t reset the clock to 1982.
Yeah, that was like, forty pounds ago.
And just what was to celebrate in 1982?
The year of the 82nd.
The Bucket of Things to Worry About I carry around in my brain currently runneth over. I can’t fit in one more thing.
Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems. — Epictetus
Knowledge of something does not require an emotional response to it. You have all the power within you.
Even knowing what Epictetus knew, it has taken me a long time to get over it and I am still working on it.
Stay clear of the Diehold Foundation guy then. Douglas B. Vogt. Stumbled on that guy today, courtesy of a ZHer’s link. Not sure if he’s for reals or a nut job, but, boy that one was a doozy. At any rate, I’ll probably be dead by 2046 anyway. If I’m reading him right, that’s when the world is supposed to end due to a number of issues with the sun.
Professional criminals, the really dedicated ones, often wait for extreme weather events and the chaos they cause to execute their more ambitious jobs.
A Corona Mark ll could be a Godsend for some, particularly with banks failing and wars being lost…
Corona Mark II? The sun is sending us free classic Toyotas? Cool!
Or especially during a Friday through Monday “news cycle.”
Your first sentence had me thinking about how animals like to give birth.
at inconvenient times? in hiding? wherever they happen to be at that moment?
Extreme weather events for maximum chaos.
Carrington Event?
Might provide a nice vacation for many.
Best news I’ve heard all week.
Meanwhile, with the weather being warmer, I have taken up the task of cleaning out the garage of the piles and piles of old seed flats, outgrown bikes, shovels, balls, wood I will probably never use to build anything and hula hoops. My greatest hope is that a big black hole might swallow it all by tomorrow morning.
been waiting years for this to happen. Never any black holes when you need’m
Ahhh … the jab must have missed him … not to worry, another booster will be along in 6 weeks …
Moody’s is now saying the banking crisis “might” not be able to be contained.
What happens if we get a nice solar storm today, Friday banks are closed because of a system failure, mid week banks re-open and CBDC’s replace the fiat?
Coinkadink!
Oprah’s coronal hole is pretty fucken big also.
The Sun blasted a VERY fast-moving CME directly away from us last week. 3000km per second. At that speed it would reach the Earth in under 14 hours.
I love how they always say the worst that can happen is satellite damage, economic damage, MAYBE some small regional blackouts–like Quebec in 1989.
If we got something like Carrington (~X40 Flare) we’re done. Our magnetic field is at least 25% less than in 1859, possibly more…and waning every year. Something that size could not only knock out power everywhere on Earth, but it could also fuse the copper windings in transformers so they could not be rebuilt and possibly cause electricl storms like no one alive has ever seen. Also, there is the real possibility of gas line explosions.
Also, Carrington is not even close to the worst the Sun can do. There are X100 flares every 500 years or so, and up to X1000 flares every 3-6000 years. Not to mention a Micronova every ~12Kyears…which we are, unfortunately, due for in the coming decades.
None of this is to cause worry. Worry is worse than useless. The key thing is that with this disaster scenario, there could be a warning. Think what you could do with a 12 to 14-hour head start on the rest of the world–the time between the EM flash of a flare and the arrival of the CME.
DRUD
Well, I wonder what ChatGPT thinks about this?
Fuck it
Careful, or that coronal hole will consume uranus.
Fake bullshit CGI fear porn.
Sapristi ! The coronal mass ejection. Is this the true origin of corona viruses?
